Jeanne,

I'm sorry but I don't know much about why they put her on aspirin or how much

she is on each day. I can speak to her mum and find out more. I know she was

put on it by the cardiologist and that she is still waiting for open heart

surgery which should be next year. She had a shunt operation last year. She

is 5 years old this month (last week I think). I must admit I thought it

strange that she was on aspirin as I knew it could be dangerous for children

under 12 (?). This same kid who has big heart problems is also on cisapride

for reflux---was there not a warning that children with heart defects should

not be on this medication?

I don't think the bleeding has anything to do with the hypoglycaemia, it's

just that they have to do BM tests every few hours to check her glucose

levels and it takes ages for her blood to clot.

BTW does anyone know what the normal glucose levels are for children?

About the bleeding. I was reading in my medication book last night to see if

ginving Jillian Benadryl w/Zantac was okay and quite a few meds mentioned

bleeding. If you tell me what meds she is on, I can look them up in my book

and let you know what it says. This book is awesome!!

I don't know if it would be the same, but is on 1 baby aspirin a day

to prevent blood clots. We were told to give him this by his cardiologist.

We do however stop giving him it when he has an extended illness that

includes fevers, like when he had the chicken pox, we stopped the aspirin

until he was over them.
